March is a busy month! We are getting ahead of the game and celebrating Red Nose Day early at Ibrox. Our Fundraising Committee will be telling us about the work Comic Relief do at our assembly tomorrow. Children can wear red and bring a coin donation (if possible) which we will send to the charity for official Comic Relief Day in March.
We will be showcasing our Scottish Learning on Wednesday 8th February. We would love you all to come and join us to share the learning your child has been doing. There will be a chance for you to visit your child’s class, enjoy a Scottish snack together, hear some poetry recitals and enjoy some Scottish dancing. Please join us at 1:15pm this Wednesday.
Wednesday is Burns Day and children can come to school in a Touch of Tartan or something Scottish if they wish. Please note there is no expectation and please don’t purchase anything new. A little tartan ribbon/tie or anything you have at home already is perfect.
Dear Parent/Carer,
French Horn,
Glasgow CREATE GCC Education Services are offering young children from P4-S1 the opportunity to take part in weekly French Horn lessons, delivered by our resident Horn Tutor, Dave Pryce. The classes take place on Saturday mornings, at CREATE’s Centre for Training and Performance, City Halls. 87-101 Albion Street Glasgow G1 1LH.
These sessions are aimed at complete beginners and are free of charge. Instruments are also provided free of charge.
This is a fantastic opportunity for any young person who is interested in music, places will be offered on a first come first served basis. Once children have reached a particular stage they will also be offered a place with the Junior Brass Ensemble, which then leads into the Concert Band, Symphonic Wind Band and Symphony Orchestra.
For further information and to secure a place please contact Pamela Black by email –

Please see range of support available from Govan Help. Govan Help came along to our parent meetings in December and many of you chatted with them. They are located in the Pearce Institute, a 20 minute walk from Ibrox Primary.
Please see attached flyers for free Author events/ Writing Workshops being run across Glasgow in various libraries. These are all on Saturday afternoons and are free to attend, but must be booked using the QR code on the flyer.
